Product Information:
Unbelievably cheap and sh**ty! These things look really cool, but do not be fooled! The majority of the pull is made from a soft green rubber that is vaguely attached to a wafer thin piece of aluminum. It is this aluminum that connects the object itself to the magazine. This glorified aluminum foil slips under four little tabs on the bottom of your magazine which would be fine except that whatever adhesive Magpul used to connect the rubber to the aluminum is crappy. The two parts of the pull started separating almost immediately. I foolishly decided to press on, and removed the original (and very functional) bottom plate of my hi-cap magazine. Once I had the Ranger Plate in place the con was complete. This thing gets in the way of the winder for the magazine so much that I can barely wind it. I tore through many layers of skin and spent 3 or 4 times the effort to wind the magazine. Additionally, the plates look cheap, the aluminum is slightly exposed making the connection very obvious and NOT tactical. Oh, and when I realized my mistake and wanted to remove said P.O.S. the screw was easy to unscrew but since it was sunk down in the soft rubber, no pair of pliers or tweezers would fish it out, even though it wasn't in the actual threads. This prevented me from sliding the useless ba**ard off, essentially rendering the great Hi-cap mag that came with my KWA SR 10, not completely useless but a bitch to wind and therefore...not really a HI-cap anymore. Now, I start with it in my gun and don't bother even trying to wind it, just chuck it in my dump pouch when it stops feeding.


Some terms to help describe these things: Useless, Chintzy, Crappy, Pointless, Ugly and A WASTE OF MONEY!

Pros:
Ummm...made my wallet lighter so now I dont have to lug the 50 dollars I wasted on these things?
Caused me to write this review, perhaps saving any fellow Airsoft enthusiasts from wasting their hard earned dollars on a non-functioning accessory to this already expensive pass time.

Cons:
Construction
Function
Aesthetics
Cost
